Abstract

Contemporary Ukrainian culture is in a state of redefinition of the basic values and principles on which its functioning is based. The challenge faced by the political and intellectual elites of Ukraine is to create a common language code that will be accepted and understood by members of the whole society. The postcolonial character of culture in this context is the platform on which the contemporary image of the Ukrainian state is created. Therefore, the idea of contemporary Ukraine should be based on the process of getting rid of the “postcolonial syndrome” and shaping the Ukrainian culture based on the traditions and attitudes of national culture. The state’s position in this regard should be compatible and follow the common goal of real independence from the then colonizer. The Russian Federation, implementing its imperial policy towards Ukraine, effectively hinders the development of the Ukrainian cultural sphere, which is one of the priority state-building spaces. Therefore, Ukrainian society faces a very difficult task, because it should create an effective institutional and systemic base that will allow for nationwide development. The process of uniting the Ukrainian nation around the basic state-building idea should be based on a common language space, because language is the element that shapes the area of mutual social interactions. Ukraine in the conditions of competition, not only in the military context, but above all in the cultural context, should go in the direction of promoting its own position in every sphere of functioning, and especially in the cultural sphere.
当代乌克兰文化状况:后殖民回顾与透视
当代乌克兰文化正在重新定义其运作所依据的基本价值观和原则。乌克兰政治和知识精英面临的挑战是创造一种被整个社会成员接受和理解的共同语言规范。在这种背景下,文化的后殖民特征是创造乌克兰国家当代形象的平台。因此,当代乌克兰的思想应该建立在摆脱“后殖民综合症”的过程中,并基于民族文化的传统和态度来塑造乌克兰文化。国家在这方面的立场应该是一致的,并遵循真正独立于当时殖民者的共同目标。俄罗斯联邦实施其对乌克兰的帝国政策,有效地阻碍了乌克兰文化领域的发展,而乌克兰文化领域是国家优先建设的空间之一。因此,乌克兰社会面临着一项非常艰巨的任务,因为它应该建立一个有效的制度和系统基础,以便在全国范围内发展。围绕基本的国家建设理念团结乌克兰民族的过程应该基于共同的语言空间,因为语言是塑造相互社会互动领域的元素。乌克兰在竞争条件下,不仅在军事方面,而且最重要的是在文化方面,都应该朝着促进其在各个职能领域,特别是在文化领域的地位的方向前进。
